1//! FFI — register Rust functions as callable Lisp procedures.
2//!
3//! Two registration modes:
4//!
5//!   - **Raw** (`Interpreter::register_fn`): you receive `&[Value]` and
6//!     pick values out yourself. Most flexible, no marshalling overhead.
7//!     Appropriate for primitives that need to inspect arg kinds
8//!     directly or handle variadic arguments.
9//!
10//!   - **Typed** (`Interpreter::register_typed{0,1,2,3,4}`): you declare
11//!     Rust arg + return types; the runtime marshals `Value` ↔ Rust
12//!     types via the `FromValue` and `IntoValue` traits. Arity is
13//!     inferred from the Rust signature. This is the common-case API
14//!     for embedder code.
15//!
16//! Values that need to cross the FFI boundary unchanged (e.g., opaque
17//! host handles) can be wrapped in `Value::Foreign(Arc<dyn Any>)` and
18//! downcast in the native fn body.

150/// registry borrow before invoking it — letting `apply()` hold `&mut
151/// Interpreter` while a higher-order primitive runs (which lets that
152/// primitive re-enter the dispatch path with the same Interpreter).
153/// A primitive that may have to wait, split so that **waiting cannot
154/// consume**.
155///
156/// ## Why two phases
157///
158/// A one-phase parking primitive — one that inspects the host, decides it
159/// cannot proceed, and returns [`crate::vm::Vm::park`] — carries a contract
160/// the VM cannot check: it must not have consumed anything, because the
161/// parked call is *re-executed from the top*. Take-then-park loses whatever
162/// was taken.
163///
164/// That contract is exactly the kind that holds until the first interesting
165/// case. A selective `receive` is the interesting case: it takes a message,
166/// finds it does not match the pattern, and must wait — and the natural
167/// implementation of that loses the message on every non-match.
168///
169/// Splitting the primitive in two removes the possibility rather than
170/// warning about it. [`AwaitableCallable::ready`] gets `&H` — an immutable
171/// borrow — so **it cannot mutate the host at all**; the compiler rejects
172/// the attempt. [`AwaitableCallable::call`] gets `&mut H` and is invoked
173/// only once `ready` has said yes, so it never has a reason to park.
174///
175/// Take-then-park is not discouraged here. It does not typecheck.
176pub trait AwaitableCallable<H>: Send + Sync + 'static {
177    /// May this call proceed? Answered against an **immutable** host.
